Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe.

Neuronal Type Assignment from Connectivity (NTAC) transforms a connectome into a graph, and detects neuron types using "connectivity fingerprints” and groups the neuronal cell types in the connectome.

The U.S. and Israel conducted military strikes on Iran, killing its supreme leader and top officials. President Trump stated the action was to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Social ...

A clump of human brain cells can play the classic computer game Doom. While its performance is not up to par with humans, experts say it brings biological computers a step closer to useful real-world ...

Summary: Understanding how brain activity translates to behavior requires tracking individual neurons in real-time—a task that is notoriously difficult when the subject is a “wiggly” roundworm or a ...

Abstract: Precise quantification and localization of tracer-labeled neurons are essential for unraveling brain connectivity patterns and constructing a mesoscopic brain connectome atlas in macaques.

A new technology to more accurately trace neuron shapes from microscopy images is outlined in research released by E11 Bio, a nonprofit Focused Research Organization based in Alameda, Calif. The aim ...

Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence researchers have identified over 60 transcriptomic neuron types in the zebrafish optic tectum with nearly identical gene-expression profiles yet very ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

Electroencephalograms (EEGs) or multi-unit activities (MUAs) of tonic–clonic seizures typically exhibit a distinct structure. After a preliminary phase (DC shift, spikes), the tonic phase is ...
